[glacial palm]

I didn't think the analogy needed refined, just wanted to show "this one is lower purchasing power" 😅

[hard cypress]

What skills are you using on monk ?

[craggy gyro]

Is there a way to get rid of portals you don’t need

[glacial palm]

Still a factor of 100 too 🤔

[glacial palm]

I've never tried this, but you could try regenerating the area the portal is tied to.

I imagine that would need to close the portal, since it doesn't lead anywhere now.

[haughty niche]

I just ignore them. You never need to manually close them.

[glacial palm]

If you don't take it for... 8 minutes, I believe? It will close on its own.

[haughty niche]

7-15

[glacial palm]

Not much reason I can imagine to close them, but figured I would answer anyway 😅

[haughty niche]

Depending on server population

[deft kraken]

theyll dissappear after a bit

[tired forge]

Forgive me very stupid question: Item level is minimum level you can use item right?

[glacial palm]

Oh, must have missed that one. Do you have a link by chance?

[lament stone]

item level affects what mod tiers are able to roll on an item

[haughty niche]

loading screen tips

[tired forge]

tyvm, I dont understand this but will google it.

[lament stone]

item level is not equip level, the level required to be able to equip an item

[glacial palm]

Guess I'll just keep playing and hope to see it 😅

[brave otter]

Hey i am new player and crafted this piece is it any worth?

[tired forge]

OK, so item level dictates what score of secondary characteristics it is likely to have?

[haughty niche]

no

[tired forge]

And generally higher item level = better?

[haughty niche]

or well kind of

ilvl doesnt mean its better

but it does mean it could be better.

[dusky burrow]

higher potential (generally speaking)

[dusky burrow]

not really

[haughty niche]

So on a bow, it could roll those flat phys modifiers

[tired forge]

Ahh tyvm for info : )

[haughty niche]

The highlighted value is the ilvl they are locked behind

An ilvl 65 bow can still roll ilvl2 mods.

[glacial palm]

I could wear it as a lightning res addition since some of it fits my build, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it (and I imagine most people wouldn't buy it at all)

[wooden lotus]

Guys hello.
Does the gambler vendor item level is scaling with your lvl or it works differently?

[slim onyx]

mainly ice strike, bell and lightning storm

I am able to kill with ok speed but they swarm up too fast

[shut abyss]

scales off based on his her location afaik

[haughty niche]

i assume char lvl.

[glacial palm]

So I know that the cap is based on the zone.

[hard cypress]

Hmm check vendor for maybe better gear ? I also used locus as sort of crowd control

[glacial palm]

I'm unsure if it's character level up to zone at max, or just zone 🤔

[slim onyx]

thx

[wooden lotus]

so let's say I'm in act3 cruel, it will have the same gambling choices regardless of my lvl and location I last cleared?
I'm thinking about wasting all my gambling choices for expert gear in act3c.
If I can even roll an expert gear.

[shut abyss]

i thinks so, you could test it quite easily if you're past act1

[glacial palm]

As far as I know, the maximum you're going to get is based on the highest level zone in the area that vendor is located.
Only part I'm unsure about is whether it's "Your level, but no higher than that" or just "That level"

I assume it's the first one, since that would be the one that lets you gamble for immediately usable gear.

[wooden lotus]

thanks

[haughty niche]

all i know is gambling at alva in endgame town seems to scale properly to get good items

[wind grail]

@languid perch hello ?

[umbral shoal]

Is there any good invoker build that DOESN’T use charged staff?

I’m just tired of seeing the same skill over and over

[shut abyss]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/ice-strike-invoker-build-guide

well, he does add it late game

[azure lava]

I've heard good things about invokers using elemental spells

[smoky saddle]

Anyone help me before I end up giving up on this game , I’m currently play merc witch hunter and for the love of god I just seem to be at a brick I have 2 bosses to kill but constantly die I’ve been fine up until the temple

[shut abyss]

temple?

[deft kraken]

what act and what bosses?

[azure lava]

My guess is your gear lacks life/resistances, your boots lack movement speed, your skills lack combos and/or proper supports, and/or your weapon is suboptimal

[flint wind]

Yeah gear matters in this game a lot

A fast fix would be too go into town and spend some of your gold on the gear gamble too maybe get a good replacmenet

So identify your worst gear and replace that with a bit of gold spending

[shell loom]

is there a leveling guide for witch, with moderately fast clears?

[flint wind]

What are you looking for? What gems too use? The skill tree?

[haughty niche]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides

select leveling and witch.

[shell loom]

i saw a video on youtube with a specific build and i'm looking to get to that level so i can do the build. It's my second character the first i did without no guide, and i want something to go faster through the campaign

[shell loom]

thanks!

what's the difference between leveling and twink leveling?

[flint wind]

You probably just can go for the build during the campaign

[haughty niche]

twink lvling uses gear you bought from trade/previous characters

makes things much faster

[flint wind]

Twink leveling assumes you have some currency too buy lvling gear

[safe lance]

especially some uniques

[shell loom]

Thanks for the help!

[smoky saddle]

Act 3 it’s the boss in the area with the giant sun in

[ember cave]

can i price check in this server?

if yes, where do I do it?

[haughty niche]

#price-check📉

[shut abyss]

#price-check📉

[deft kraken]

brother he had me tilted for a few hours i cant lie

[ember cave]

okay but still i'm following along and still, only 1 amulet with my stats and its 8 divines meanwhile i cant sell mine for 25ex

tbh its listed 4 days ago but still i think its prety good

double res double rarity and crit damage seems good

[shut abyss]

linky

i wanna see

[azure lava]

If the rolls are bad then it's probably garbage

[smoky saddle]

Someone said about checking vendors but how do I know what I’m looking for cause I’m new

[azure lava]

That's not a double rarity roll

Implicit rarity doesn't count for that

[ember cave]

rip but theres literally none other than this one with rarity

with implicit and mod and crit damage and double res

[deft kraken]

im pretty new too, i think they just mean check vendors to see if they have better gear than what youre currently wearing. if you can throw a fire resistance charm/rune on then that would help too

but as long as youre putting up good dps and not getting one shot you should be able to cook him

[flint wind]

On equipment mainly life and resistances and a bit of mana

There are some deluxe mods that are quite rare like +lvl too gems or high added damage.

On weapon: damage duh

[storm pagoda]

in campaign in infested ruins. i died to the brood queen, and it is not respawning when i visit the location again?

[smoky saddle]

Okay cheers appreciate the help

[smoky saddle]

Yeah my fire resistance is rubbish but I’ve looked for stuff for it and nothing I guess I’ll just have to farm for it

[flint wind]

Oh yeah movement speed boots are also huuuuge

[azure lava]

Add sockets to your gear with artificer orbs and slot in runes for resistance

[deft kraken]

you could also probably buy a topaz charm to put on your belt and upgrade it with an orb or something. and what Byron said about the sockets will help too

[dusk umbra]

Its only 1 jewel rank unique or 1 unique per gem?

[storm pagoda]

what orb is used to upgrade item to rare and more modifiers to. All i get in drops are magic (blue) items

[azure lava]

I have no idea what this sentence means.

[deft kraken]

regal orbs upgrade, if you find cheap rares you can turn them into regal shards and 10 make an orb

[azure lava]

"jewel rank unique" and "unique per gem" both nonsense to me

[shut abyss]

@azure lava got my chrono ascendancy today, i get why you like it so much

[deft kraken]

look for the vendor that has the "Disenchant Item" option

[dusk umbra]

Can i have more than one orange jewel?

[azure lava]

Temporal rift is goated. Use it before they nerf it

[sour pebble]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Prism_of_Belief#TradeSearch

[azure lava]

Read the words below "jewel"

You can only have one megalomaniac jewel

[shut abyss]

been rushing trough acts and it has saved me so many times from getting mobbed in a dead end

[storm pagoda]

ohh so disenchant means to basically scrap rare items? I thought i would be unlocking some enchanting mechanism later on

[flint wind]

What does temporal rift do? Is that the ascendency thing from chronomancer?

[flint wind]

Well the currency item is the enchanting

[azure lava]

Yeah. Restores your position, life, mana, and energy shield to where they were four seconds ago

[sour pebble]

You can have more than 1 unique jewel equipped, but cannot have more than 1 megalomaniac equipped.

[flint wind]

Ah ok

I can recommend blink

It's so broken

[shut abyss]

can't do blink with 30 spirit

[smoky saddle]

cheers didnt think of that , its very complex to learn when ive never played poe before im more of a diablo 3/4 person

[chilly geyser]

Hey, everyone! I'm a level 63 Sorc using a CI build. Is there a better helm than this one, or should I stick with it? Any recommendations? Thanks!

[vernal finch]

For this skill it makes a bunch of little bones on the ground, is this text saying that each bone does 480-700dmg? Or all of the bones combined add up to 480-700dmg?

[azure lava]

Press R3 and you can read about any underlined word/phrase you come across

[shut abyss]

but blink would make my rushing faster...maybe i'll spend some money on a spirit neck or something

[flint wind]

Yeah game is quite brutal

And we old players just assume a lot of stuff as easy

[deft kraken]

yessir and there kind of is an enchanting mechanism its just RNG based with orbs you find

[flint wind]

Probably not needed for campaign

[brazen cedar]

need a new class been playing monk whats some other broken builds?

[azure lava]

If you can't cap your resistances without it, I'd keep using it

[shut abyss]

it is needed when it's my third toon!

[flint wind]

Demon witch looks fun

[dusk umbra]

Sorry, Can i have one Megalomanic diamond and one time-lost diamond ? or its only 1 Diamond type of gem?

[brazen cedar]

been thinking the same thing tbh

[azure lava]

All classes can use all skills. I'd recommend hammer of the gods chrono

[flint wind]

The unique name is what matters
So megalomaniac

[dusk umbra]

Okay, ty

[azure lava]

The limit is just for jewels of the same name. There is no restriction on using different unique jewels

[dusk umbra]

tyty, now i understand

[eager basin]

is this actually practical, it sounds hilarious

[azure lava]

The damage is per hit. So if an enemy hits them all, it's a lot more

[azure lava]

Yes

YouTube it

You can get hotg to go off like every 4 seconds or something

[chilly geyser]

@azure lava Thanks i think imma hang on to it a while longer lol

[austere tree]

Why I cant enable this buff?

[storm pagoda]

why do some items have certain stats in blue? like physical damage on some staffs will be blue and higher .. is it similar to having GA in diablo

[austere tree]

says not enough spirit but it needs 30 and i have 30

[shut abyss]

support gem maybe?

[austere tree]

ahh

Yes

[shut abyss]

does this blue staff happen to have cold damage on it?

[azure lava]

If it's blue at the top, it's being modified by another mod on the item

[storm pagoda]

no basic staff with the number against physical damage is sometimes blue and sometimes in grey

[azure lava]

The numbers at the top include any relevant modifiers on the item

[storm pagoda]

ohh. so it is basically being increases the weapons own modifiers

[azure lava]

If you have a %Phys damage mod on a mace, for example, the physical damage at the top will be blue and have that %increase factored in

Same for quality as well

[shut abyss]

ah that kind of blue

[storm pagoda]

truee.. that's exactly what i have on mine i see

[shut abyss]

i've never noticed that so i just figured it must be cold

[safe lance]

My stash is full, like I have a whole stash tab of tiered gear that is not for my builds/classes. I am thinking of making a spreadsheet for myself (looking at maxroll/mobalytics build guides and what gear they each seem to want) and regex to mass select and clear them all. Does such a thing already exist? It would save me time. I am on PS5 but also have a PC now so could install stuff if needed.

*whole quad tab

[vernal finch]

Can you abandon quests?

[glacial palm]

I'm not sure, but I'm also not sure of a case where we would need to for this game.

[daring dragon]

Not that I'm aware of but if there is an option you will find it in the quest log.

[glacial palm]

Unlike something like an MMO, we don't have a quest log to fill and the quest list for a given area is quite small.

[daring dragon]

But why do u want to abandon one?

[safe lance]

There is a checkbox called "enable quest tracking" maybe that would help

[vernal finch]

I already got the reforge bench on one character, now I picked up the quest to do it on another by mistake.... no intention of doing it

[lament stone]

no

[storm pagoda]

i have definitely wasted so many rares that i kept selling instead of disenchanting. What about salvaging? I have been salvaging anything that has sockets so far. What do armourers scrap do, says it improves quality of an item? What is quality? is it like Masterworking in D4?

[glacial palm]

In that case, I think you want to uncheck the "Enable Quest Tracking" Zed referred to.
It won't abandon the quest, but it will remove it from your screen at least.

[lament stone]

are you sure its the same quest?

that quest shouldnt exist on other characters once youve completed it on once in a league

[vernal finch]

Molten vault is where you get the reforge bench isn't it?

Nothing else in there i thought

[glacial palm]

In short, quality improves an item. How it improves the item depends on the item itself but most commonly it improves the implicit stat the item has (the one above the dividing bar in its description)

[lament stone]

renlys tools in act 1 is the reforge bench

[eager basin]

+% (up to 20) multiplicative boost to base defensive stat of a given armour piece

[glacial palm]

Oh no. Molten vault is a side area with a miniboss.

[safe lance]

nah this is reforge

thats salvage

[lament stone]

oh

[glacial palm]

Oh, I see what you mean.

[safe lance]

reforging is oswald x metkul and I skipped it too

[vernal finch]

"The Molten Vault - Kill Mektul, The Forgemaster and talk to Oswald to unlock the Reforging Bench."

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign

I was basing it on this

[daring dragon]

Its a rly short quest in the burning town in act1. It probably will be the fastest to just finish it to get rid of it.

[glacial palm]

You're saying you don't want to redo the area as you've already gotten the reforging bench 👍

[vernal finch]

Yea, don't want to do it again but it's on the screen lol

[storm pagoda]

damn i should have been disenchanting things from the beginning instead of selling, could have collected lots of orbs lol

[safe lance]

I still only disenchant

[daring dragon]

You can also improve the quality of skill gems. What the quality does on a skill gem will be stated in the gems tooltip.

[terse stratus]

anyone have suggestions crossbow shot support gems? I only use this when something is immune to fire but currently I have no support gems equipped lol

most guides ignore it completely XD

[fading yoke]

what are the symbols under the health bar of enemies? weaknesses or what? Sometimes they are colored sometimes they aren't

[storm pagoda]

you mean upgrade the uncut skill/spirit/support gems? Wow i have like a few low level ones which were basically just duplicating me a lower skill and i decided to stash them

[lament stone]

outside of expedition theres no way for enemies to be immune to damage types

[daring dragon]

There are many different ones and they can mean a lot of different things. From resistances to buffs and debuffs and other effects.

[daring dragon]

Skill and spirit only

[terse stratus]

right i want it for expedition haha

[storm pagoda]

ooh cool. interesting

[glacial palm]

If you're referring to the set of elemental symbols, they show weakness/resistance.
Red is weakness/low res, grey in between, and yellow is high resistance.

[lament stone]

firstly, you can ignore those nodes, if you dont explode it enemies wont be immune to that damage type, secondly, expedition is a #2┃after-acts-help thing

[storm pagoda]

So lets say for a quarterstaff i have a normal staff which has implicit stats for physical attack, crit chance, atk per second. Theoretically if i have enough orbs of whatever, i can take that normal staff to like a +20% quality rare staff with good modifiers right?

[glacial palm]

It's going to take some unknown number and variety of "orbs of whatever", but yes. You can make your own items as you like in this game.

Just takes resources, time, and luck 🙂

[daring dragon]

Quality doesn't affect mods tho

Iirc on a weapon it will only increase its dmg

[glacial palm]

You know, now I'm not sure what quality on a wand does 🤔

[opaque stone]

Theoretically, but its likely you'll delete the stats you already had in the process if you dont get lucky in the first place

[glacial palm]

I've not even looked into it yet.

[daring dragon]

@storm pagoda https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Quality#:~:text=Most items which can have,after runes and local modifiers.

[opaque stone]

Increases the quality of it's given skill

[glacial palm]

Was so excited to come back and share that too, just tested it and found it 😅

That's a neat interaction.

[haughty niche]

Unless they patched it, quality was not affecting any of the caster weapon's given skills

Its supposed to, but wasnt

[glacial palm]

Appears to be working, haven't gotten to test the effect on the skill itself but it's showing in the skill stats at least.

Will have to find a good skill to confirm that with, as chaos bolt is just getting projectile speed.

Would have to spend a lot of quality to see if it's going faster lol

[shy star]

can i report him for this he switched the rings and i didn't notice

[dusky burrow]

not really

ggg won't do anything, scamming isn't against TOS

[haughty niche]

they dont ban for scams

[dusky burrow]

and we're just community members

[shy star]

fuckkkkkk

[dusky burrow]

it's part of the Trading Experience TM

[haughty niche]

Its difficult to police everything that happens in the trade menues and out of them. So they did as much as they could to make it so that the purchaser had to check what they were buying.

You are required to hover over the item before accepting. So its your fault unfortunately if you don't pay attention. Sucks I know, but thats how it is.

And items don't have a "value" to them in this game either, so they can't just show a price value in the trade window to make sure you are getting what you pay for

[dusky burrow]

(just remember for the future, if they ever cancel the trade for any reason, chances for a scam go up 100x.)

[shy star]

yea ig rip divine

[chilly geyser]

Hey all do caster need evasion?

[haughty niche]

nothing needs evasion

its just an option for a defensive layer.

[chilly geyser]

@haughty niche so best defense for caster is armor?

[haughty niche]

Scaling it properly also requires you to be on the bottom-right side of the passive tree, otherwise its just an afterthought.

Nope

[chilly geyser]

@haughty niche I am trying to cap resist but i wanted to make sure I am adding other aspects that help defense

[haughty niche]

armour sucks for everyone atm. Also casters can't really get a lot of that either. They stay alive simply by getting a ton of energy shield. If they want more than that, they can lean heavily left or right on the tree for armour or evasion, but that warps how you build the character.

[chilly geyser]

@haughty niche ok I am using a CI build I will continue to stack ES and cap resist

[haughty niche]

Mind over Matter is also a popular defensive layer

since a lot of casters are going Archmage (stacking mana for damage) anyway

[noble trench]

Does ice bite work on HOI? Or can herald of ice not freeze?

[chilly geyser]

@haughty niche yep gonna go Arch mage too lol

[frail sphinx]

why cant i put any support gems into my spell?

[noble trench]

huh

[haughty niche]

idk why it doesn't show that in game

[noble trench]

thanks for answering, but i don't know where you can see it

[haughty niche]

im using poe2db

[noble trench]

ah okay

[haughty niche]

uh, do you have enough int? I dont have enough info with that screenshot.

[frail sphinx]

i have more than enough

i could slot them in but not engrave by clicking on them

[haughty niche]

strange

[steel grove]

Howdy folks. I am looking at this build: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/7fgum010
It uses 230 spirit... but also calls for a unique helm and unique chest (both offering 0 spirit) so with only an amulet to get spirit and capping (I believe) at +50 for the roll and +15 for the implicit. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET TO 230?

[stark lynx]

Extra hitpoints, scales from passive tree and items

[eager basin]

have you tried just closing and reopening the engrave window

I had that happen earlier today, game just decided no supports were socketable in any skill

[vernal finch]

Does anyone know how this works with blasphemy?

[haughty niche]

uses sceptres at all?

[steel grove]

It is a demon form build so I can't get the bonus from there. Sorry should have put that in.

[zenith peak]

How do I reset passive skill once hooded one is revealed in act 2

[lost smelt]

go to a different town

[zenith peak]

never mind

[haughty niche]

honestly ive never heard of this person and this is incredibly barebones as a guide

[steel grove]

Fair enough. Thank you for checking it out!

[dark vapor]

hey, could anybody help me get through trials of chaos? ill pay 1 ex
ign: Monkeful

[desert sedge]

Rule 6. No trading, begging, asking for 'loans', giveaways, tips for services, etc for any game. See #trading for alternatives.

[haughty niche]

ascendency i think

[icy nymph]

can someone tell me please how much stats are needed for lv 19 spirit gem skills ? 18 says 178

[vapid sigil]

I really like the witch, it feels great when everything is working, but man do I just hate that the biggest downside is like the enviroment and pathing. It just sucks for your minions to get stuck on air and you are like 10% your DPS becasue of it

[shell bridge]

I‘ve only heard that there will be 6 other classes and Act 4-6 when Poe2 fully releases, is there anything else they could or will add?

[zenith peak]

would adding points to "area of effect for attacks" effect grenades and similar throwables

[finite kiln]

Server down ?

[safe ivy]

algum br experiente pra tirar duvida?

[eager basin]

if they have the attack tag

which I believe they do

[haughty niche]

https://poe2db.tw/Archmage

will probably vary per gem

[eager basin]

this is such a broad question I have no idea how to answer it

[trim turret]

The other two thirds of the subclasses, and they'll polish and expand on what's already in the game.

[zenith peak]

dont see it

[zenith peak]

it has AoE

[trim turret]

And the other classes and acts will be coming before full release, during EA.

[real gust]

Just got kicked out the game and now i can't get back in. it says "abnormal disconnection". any idea what that is?

[eager basin]

admittedly difficult to distinguish if you are not familiar with how poe classifies things

[opaque stone]

Three other acts? Like 7 weapon types? Skills, supports, endgame mechanics, crafting methods. There's also the third ascendancy for every class

[zenith peak]

where do u see this tag

[opaque stone]

Above the other tags

[eager basin]

it's right under the skill name lol

[shell bridge]

Oh okay, thanks

[zenith peak]

thanks

[haughty niche]

alongside each class, theres also many weapon types (and of course skills) missing from poe1. Stuff like axes, SWORDS IN AN ARPG, Claws, etc. I believe traps are getting their own weapon type. Still can't get over that theres no swords atm

And after release, following poe1's success, they will do periodic seasonal "leagues" that add new content to the game alongside a league that offers an economy/character reset to try out new builds and content.

[atomic vapor]

How do I tell which Djinn is test of cunning/strength/will?

[opaque stone]

Claws arent returning as far as ive heard. There's also spears and flails

[chilly geyser]

Hey all is there a boss in Act 1 that gives a perm spirit buff?

[eager basin]

yes

[opaque stone]

Yes, King in The Mists

[eager basin]

king in the mists

[opaque stone]

Gives 30

[main quartz]

in the Feythorn area

[chilly geyser]

Where is he located?

[haughty niche]

removal of claws is kinda pointless and dumb on their part.

[terse turtle]

Also gives you your first spirit skill gem

[opaque stone]

Yeah, i miss them. Also it led to the current Hand of Wisdom and Action stuff lol

[chilly geyser]

I have made it all the way to 67 and never fought him

[opaque stone]

You need to do four ritual altars in the Feythorn for him to spawn

[eager basin]

is it? they kinda share the same space as daggers

[chilly geyser]

ok i will Youtube it thanks

[blissful adder]

y

[opaque stone]

God i hope duelist brings back Impale

[haughty niche]

removal of diversity in a sequel title always sucks imo

[eager basin]

and they can always bring them back later

better than ending up with a forgotten line of super niche bases like ward

[opaque stone]

Claws are one of the more popular weapon types though

[haughty niche]

claws are the most used melee weapon in poe1

[opaque stone]

Claws/Daggers/Axes

[haughty niche]

Partially cause they just have busted stats for sustain and crit, but still

[shell bridge]

What are those subclasses? Do they have other attacks or just a different look?

[opaque stone]

Or maybe daggers was just a Settlers thing cuz of runecrafting

[haughty niche]

every character can use every weapon and skill.

[opaque stone]

Have you Ascended yet? Each ascendancy has different character bonuess

[haughty niche]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Ascendancy_class

[opaque stone]

Infernalist can replace their Mana with a completely different mechanic or turn into a demon

Or you go simple and just take the node that causes you to take portions of all elemental damage as Fire

[shell bridge]

I dont mean the ascendancies, in the character menu there is this box with „Coming Soon“ for each char

[opaque stone]

Oh that

[trim turret]

They have some skills built into them but then also powerful but flexible bonuses. So the deadeye for the ranger gives a lot of projectile boosts. Many skills, both attacks and spells can benefit from those projectile buffs.

[opaque stone]

I dont think we actually know what that is at all, i assumed it was going to show the other class for the same attribute but that doesnt hold true for Witch and Sorceress

[eager basin]

I feel like it probably will in future, it's just weirdly setup for the characters we got on EA release

as in, it would have been even weirder for one of the characters on the menu to not do anything and a single character to have two options

[glacial palm]

I didn't think about it, now that you point it out.

I assumed it was a spot to put ascendancy info once that was polished out, but that wouldn't make much sense since they aren't universally on the same side of the screen.

[cinder compass]

Can I get some help with act 2 final boss?

[glacial palm]

Give #2┃looking-for-group a try 🙂

[gaunt elbow]

Can someone tell me why Temporal Rift no longer works when supported with Vitality? I have enough Spirit for it and I'm still leaving after images.

[glacial palm]

I am having trouble finding this now, but I know it for some reason.

Let me see if I can find it.

I can't find it, but I swear that temporal rift requires 10 spirit to use it... Does anyone else know if that is true and to confirm it?

[safe lance]

wow no loans either? smh

[glacial palm]

Basically I remember that having all of your spirit reserved by other things prevented rift from functioning.

[tulip widget]

i have an item +55% to shock chance but i cant find my base shock c hance anywhere ? anyone know where?

[eager basin]

it's not a fixed chance

hover the shock tooltip

[shell bridge]

What lootfilters do you use or which one is your fav?

[gaunt elbow]

That would at least make sense, I'm on 5 Spirit when I support it.

[eager basin]

in acts you hardly need one anyway

[glacial palm]

Yeah, would really like to find the source of that info for you other than "I just know it" 😅

[shell bridge]

Im in endgame

[glacial palm]

But yeah, pretty sure you need 10 spirit free to be able to rewind.

[eager basin]

#2┃after-acts-help

[glacial palm]

Oh, that's what it is @gaunt elbow !
What all do you have supporting it?

[gaunt elbow]

Nothing else

[glacial palm]

Any other auras?

Things that would use spirit, that is.

[gaunt elbow]

Minions

Yep, if I unsummon minions it works

Weird interaction, since Spirit is not supposed to be a resource you pay for casting like that. Do you also know if that's a bug?

[glacial palm]

I'm not sure if it's a bug, but the bug in this case is that the afterimages will still appear even if you do not have enough spirit to have rift active.

If you remove all support from the gem, you can make sure you have enough support remaining for whatever you put in there.

Since your displayed Spirit will be how much you have remaining, and the gem will show the requirements.

[haughty niche]

temporal rift is a persistent buff.

it passively leaves afterimages. You then cast it to go to the oldest image

[gaunt elbow]

Ah, I suppose the bug is that it doesn't show me that it's reserving spirit, got ya.

[haughty niche]

so the spirit reservation part makes sense for the persistent portion of it

I think it doesnt cost anything by default but gets the cost added from vitality? I haven't played with it

[gaunt elbow]

Vitality adds 20 spirit cost to it, but I have enough for that. It seems that temporal rift itself reserves 10 spirit without telling you. At least that's my interpretation of this.

[glacial palm]

Actually, I need to test this more. This might be a good bug we've caught.

[echo escarp]

i need big help on andvise, im stuck in past act 3 crule and getitng insta killed by the mobs there. bosses have been fine but it has been a big pain with the regualr mobs. im dirtpor and dont get any items i need or atlest i dont know what to do

[haughty niche]

oh thats probably bad ui then

[glacial palm]

I have a sneaking suspicion that the current reservation cost of Rift must also be available in order to cast the rewind.

Despite it reserving the spirit correctly.

[haughty niche]

might have upped it to have a cost in effort of some form of last minute balance but didn't change the ui

[glacial palm]

Yeah, glad you pointed it out @gaunt elbow
With a bit of shuffling of gems I'm almost certain that's what is happening 👍

Will make a forum post shortly.

[earnest veldt]

I just started my 2nd character, I'm in ACT3 but can't find the Trial of Sekemas, can someone help?

I feel is bugged I don't know, is not showing on the map of ACT2

[haughty niche]

desert map device?

[weak forge]

@haughty niche I had to uninstall poe2 due to space issues
I'm absolutely sorry it's just I legit was having a positive momentum but I had to uninstall it.

[haughty niche]

i dont care I haven't played in a couple weeks

Do what ya gotta do

I decided id have much more fun with the game at a later date after several balance changes and reworks, and that I have games id enjoy playing more currently, so thats what im doing.

[weak forge]

That's what I have done as well. Like gone back to some old games I enjoyed as well

[tacit knot]

Guys if i am allowed. Im guessing rhe skill archmage is goinf to be nerfed. What more around this do j think will be nerfed. I want to know if my time investment will be worth it

[haughty niche]

i dont see too many reasons for a nerf.

Its always been a popular archetype just cause its cool

[tacit knot]

Well from what i see it looks absurdly overpowered compares to everything else lol

[timid raven]

is % increased stat on gear for all of that stat or just for that gear piece?

[haughty niche]

if anything, more people are doing it cause it lets them go Mind over Matter for defenses, since its very difficult to feel tanky at all

[tacit knot]

Yea true

[copper pawn]

i just left act 3 into cruel act 1.... without going back and getting ascendancy points past the first 2, am I screwed?

[haughty niche]

depends on the stat and what piece its on. kind of confusing.

[timid raven]

for example % energy shield increase

[haughty niche]

Like %phys on a weapon is just modifying that weapon's physical damage

%ES on gear is local to the item. Except for items that dont naturally have ES, such as amulet

[timid raven]

ok ty

[dense pagoda]

poe servers bad for anyone else

[hard cypress]

Pretty sure you can just open the normal act 3 map and do the thing

[copper pawn]

sweet thanks!

[storm pagoda]

in act 3 there is no checkpoint on the settlement?

[hard cypress]

As soon as the hooded one reveal ?

[storm pagoda]

i can't fast travel

[hard cypress]

The act 3 settlement has a waypoint on a side branch if that's what you are looking for

[storm pagoda]

ohh yeah just saw it lol.. it's hidden i thought that path was blocked

[hard cypress]

haha took me some time as well

[torn bough]

so i min the mawadui mine quest state says use the map to travel to the gates, i have fully explored this mine 10 plus times over, found the boss with an npc, i talked to them dozens of times wtf do i do im so lost

i dont see anywhere to teleport on th map

[eager basin]

the desert map

in the caravan

?

[torn bough]

omfg

thats all it is? lol ty

ffs i just thought it was referrring to the normal traveling map XD

[covert garnet]

am i able to get a rattling scepter from this?

[remote panther]

Hello i'm french and i need help on the game like i don't undertsand sometings and with video too ^^ so if a french player can help me

[graceful island]

its no problem

[storm pagoda]

are there like bosses which are not shown on the map? In act 3 in infested barrens, the wiki said there was a rare boss "The brood Queen", I died to her and then it didn't respawn. Its also a boss that is not shown on the map

[hard cypress]

Might me elites ?

[granite musk]

I'm confused, I've got widowhail equipped on my sorc as well as a quiver, it works and then anytime I go into a new area or die or anything the quiver says you cannot use this item it's stats will be ignored

[main quartz]

usually that means you are lacking the attributes requirement

[granite musk]

I'm not tho, there's no attribute requirements

[main quartz]

there is 100% a dex requirement on quiver, maybe the quiver gives dex and without that dex you couldn't use quiver

[steel grove]

I had wondered about that, but the build seems to push for low life to reduce the life drain from demon form. I am rethinking my choices lol

[granite musk]

Ans it fixes after I switch the spot of them but it's getting old to have to keep switching the weapon set they are in

It doesn't show, it's just says level 11, I'm level 37

[versed bridge]

whats better for spark? level 55

[slow raven]

how do you check how much rarity you have?

[versed bridge]

entropy shows lowers dps atm

[haughty niche]

the dps section of the skillgem has on-kill effects. itl be there

[chilly geyser]

does anyone know if Ignagduk on cruel give 60 spirit?

[haughty niche]

I think its 30 from act 1, 30 from act 3, and 40 from act 3 cruel

[dusky burrow]

40

[storm pagoda]

finally got spirit.. now i can have both passives active same time

[dusky burrow]

check ingame tooltip?

[versed bridge]

@dusky burrowentropy shows 100 less dps but its hard to believe lol

[dusky burrow]

• level is really, really strong

i can believe it

[versed bridge]

i see

[chilly geyser]

@haughty niche I got the 30 from act 1 so now i can move on to act 3 thanks. I have no room on gear for spirit atm.

[versed bridge]

@dusky burrowwasnt sure if tooltip accounts for % modifiers as well

[granite musk]

Then when I switch the weapon set over it changes, then when I die or go into new area, or maybe it just happens over time idek, I'll have to switch again

[dusky burrow]

it should

[main quartz]

that's weird, maybe a bug idk tbh.

[granite musk]

Ahh yea might be, thought it might be but idk if I was doing something wrong, it's just a pain to have to keep doing that, I don't remember it all the time and then dmg drops

Or if I'm stuck on a boss I'll have to keep switching it eveeytime I die.

[main quartz]

yeah must be annoying but you'll be replacing it soon

[viscid jasper]

why do my drops not show the (tier)? https://i.imgur.com/Ef7jpm2.png

[dusky burrow]

wdym

[fading roost]

Omg, I have got to know how you have the setting active

[dusky burrow]

oh i see, not all items have tiers like that

[viscid jasper]

screenshot is from a yt video

[fading roost]

Oh..

[dusky burrow]

those are rarer drops

[viscid jasper]

gotcha thank you!!!!!!!!!

[granite musk]

Yeaa, figure the issue out, when I used a skill from the wand I had it would switch to that and not give me the bouses of "having the bow equipped" and since no bow skills on i can't switch back

[main quartz]

ah yeah that'll do it

[granite musk]

I appreciate the help 🙏 sorry for wasting time lmao

[main quartz]

all good, good luck

[chilly geyser]

Hey all if I am at the map table in Act 3 if i capped my resistances they won't change when i go inside a T1 map? Im new to the map system and scared to go in until capped

[storm pagoda]

what is most optimal way to roll magic items to rare items? Should i first upgrade them to rare with regal orb or first add modifiers to the magic item and then upgrade to rare?

[gritty ivy]

Anyone know a good build for invoker?

[scenic salmon]

They changed that resistances won't go down with way stone tier
Also if you are in maps already you have graduated to #2┃after-acts-help
May your quest be bountiful

[chilly geyser]

@scenic salmon Thanks

[austere tree]

where can i see my shock chance ?

cant see anywhere for lighning arrow

[main quartz]

Upgrade it has much as possible whilst magic, then rare it. You don't want to have to use an exalted orb instead of an augmentation orb

[wise hatch]

hey where can i report bugs for the game

[dusky burrow]

on the forum, pathofexile.com

[haughty niche]

/bug in game, gives a number that you use in the forum. Its the worst bug report system ive ever seen in any game that has one

[wise hatch]

Cool thanks

[proven matrix]

where exactly can i check my total mf? dont see it under C

[haughty niche]

g -> dps -> on kill effects

[sudden solstice]

was i suppose to see all the idols i found in aggorat or was there something else i was supposed to do with them?

sell*

[haughty niche]

supposed to sell to oswald in act 3 town

[storm pagoda]

oof i did that.. but will keep in mind from now on

[haughty niche]

its only a bit of gold, so you can drop them outside of a town if you don't want to run back there

[sudden solstice]

yeah i dropped some good stuff to make room for them 😭

[storm pagoda]

For skills, at what point do we unlock more than 2 support gem sockets. My skills are now level 9

[haughty niche]

act 3 has a guaranteed chest with a lesser jewelers orb

other than that its rng after getting that one.

[sudden solstice]

lesser gems show up in act 3 i found, however I'm sitting at like 60% rarity find

[cosmic fjord]

How many regals is 1 exalted worth?

[haughty niche]

us the currency exchange, available from act 1 cruel onwards

[main quartz]

Lesser jeweller's orb add the third, Greater the fourth and perfect the fifth. Lesser's are really cheap so 3 socket your skills. You can corrupt skills for a chance at an extra socket.

[haughty niche]

if you aren't there yet, probably don't need to be trading.

[main quartz]

I engraved a skill, put a third socket, corrupt with vaal orb. Repeat until 4 sockets achieved

[cosmic fjord]

I meant for trading. Not sure where to find whatever what

What’s worth what

[haughty niche]

the currency exchange shows current rates

[cosmic fjord]

Oh, it’s used amongst players too?

[signal spear]

I’m currently a level 47 Invoker Monk and have zero survivability. I’ve mainly focused on currency spend for weapons. But should I be prioritizing evasion or Evasion ES on my gear.

[haughty niche]

Its strictly player-to-player. its just a nice ui for trading between currencies

[storm pagoda]

what is a difference between suffix and prefix.. I find the way stats roll weird tbh.. I have 2 rare Quarterstaff. One is level 32 and other is level 36. Level 32 has a modifier for 61(50-64)% increased phys damage.. and the level 36 staff has the modifier 24(20-24)% increased physical damage. I would assume the level 36 to have higher modifier or can that modifier be upgrader or something idk

[haughty niche]

otherwise price check with the trade site.
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard
For currencies you could use the bulk item exchange tab at the top. Sometimes it has better ratios than currency exchange market, sometimes it doesn't.

[main quartz]

Modifiers have tiers, Press alt to see them

[haughty niche]

rare items may have 6 affixes.
3 prefixes, 3 suffixes.
Some stats are prefixes and some are suffixes. Life is always a prefix for example.

[sudden solstice]

he can't he's on ps5, press r3 i think to see

[cosmic fjord]

Appreciate that. Have just had vast differences when trading for waystones. Some give 1 per ex, one guy gave 8.

[timber saddle]

Servers down?

[haughty niche]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Gloves_dex#ModifiersCalc You can look up some affixes with the modifiers section on poe2db

[fading roost]

@grim fern Hey chief. Sorry to bother you. Just had a question about the bow you lent me. I just saw normal Dualstrings dropping. Are they better to switch to? I figured you'd know better since you progressed further than me and probably came across them

[dusky burrow]

modifiers have tiers. those tiers of modifiers have different roll ranges and different level requirements (the level the item has to be for the tier of the modifier to roll)

in this case, the level 32 staff rolled a higher tier than the 36 staff did. this is just rng, it could easily have been the other way around. the lvl 36 staff probably had more potential to roll a higher tier, it just didn't.

[storm pagoda]

like this

[fading roost]

Are there ways to reroll for higher tiers?

[sudden solstice]

how do people get those amulets that give +120 to all attributes

[dusky burrow]

not a straightforward / cheap / reliable way, no.

[dusky burrow]

it's called astramentis, and it's very rare.

[storm pagoda]

i see. so i gotta play the rng game on higher level ones. i think there was some orb to reroll mods, my best bet to get best gear is to roll mods again for better results

[haughty niche]

thats actually a weirder case.
The staff on the left has hybrid phys+accuracy which rolls lower on both (but counts as 1 affix), it can occur on items that also have %phys too.

The staff on the right has %phys and a separate accuracy

[fading roost]

Man, I really hope they fix crafting sooner than later

[sudden solstice]

i have one but it only gives +7 to all and than an additional +2 to all, is there a way to improve that item?

[dusky burrow]

"one" what, one amulet? astramentis is a unique amulet

[sudden solstice]

yeah it's an astramentis

[dusky burrow]

can you send a screenshot?

[sudden solstice]

i can take a photo I'm on ps5 one sec

[fading roost]

Two of the same question here. Can you get modifiers that reduce attribute requirements or is that locked to uniques/fixed traits? Are there passives that reduce attribute requirements?

[dusky burrow]

there are a few sources

suffixes on weapon, im not sure if its on other slots

there's some on the tree at the bottom near the 10% attributes notable

[fading roost]

Okay, suffixes, good to know

[sudden solstice]

well actually it's not an astramentis 😬

[dusky burrow]

there's a soul core that can move attr req to another attribute as well

[dusky burrow]

yup, it's just the same base (stellar amulet.)

[fading roost]

Lmao, that's actually pretty cool

[dusky burrow]

you can't ever get to 120, that's what makes astramentis good

[haughty niche]

i believe gloves/body/boots/helmcan roll reduced attr req locally

[fading roost]

I've seen it on body armor in some videos

[sudden solstice]

insee, well snaaap

i see*

[fading roost]

That's good news. Wanted to offer my brother advice when he eventually gets Giants Blood for his titan

[storm pagoda]

thanks for that. There's so much info that i need to learn in this game. Not sure if same mods like in this case for accuracy rating can always roll or i would love to see a pure +atk dmg and +crit chance weapon with 3 mods of each lol

[dusky burrow]

i wouldnt recommed trying on that specific amulet, but future stellar amulets can identify with and get crafted on with higher tiers of + to all attributes

[sudden solstice]

idk I just find the most difficult thing rn is juggling attributes as a merc

[fading roost]

Personally, in the early game (like right now), I just equipped an amulet that grants 30% increased item rarity. That passive is no joke

[sudden solstice]

but I'm only leveln48 so there's that

[haughty niche]

rarity increases are very noticeable up to 100% then it tapers off.

[fading roost]

Yeah, I pretty much have it to around 100

[haughty niche]

100 -> 140% would still be noticeable, but at that point the amount of investment to reach those values starts becoming a pain on your build

[fading roost]

Couldn't agree more. I won't sacrifice my playthrough for pure rolls

But getting the odd chance at exalted orbs and uniques feels good

[sudden solstice]

yeah I have been sacrificing resistance for rarity chance in my play through

highly successful

[fading roost]

Yeah, I told my brother to equip to 100% rarity as soon as he could since he's still early into act 1

I even bought him a pair of those 40%+ unique gloves

[sudden solstice]

I'm at the black chamber and so far no boss has given me issues even with my negative resistances

and I'm a witch hunter 👀

but I do have 20% movement boots which i feel are very important

[main quartz]

low resists start being an issue in Utzaal for campaign and it's extremely noticeable in maps even t1

[sudden solstice]

so I have the gear to get me close to max, I just use the rarity + items rn cuz I can

if a boss gives me issues I stack against them and carry on

however, I have seen no gear that resists poison...?

[split spindle]

my weapon isn't applying its passives anymore to my skills. I had a +2 to lightning skills staff, which is no longer leveling skills from 8->10 with green icon. what did i do wrong and how do i fix?

[sudden solstice]

are you still qualified to use that staff?

[split spindle]

yes its a very low level, hld on lemme grab screenshot

yet spark is stuck at 8, when it was "+2'd" before it had a green icon

[hard cypress]

Are the support gems causing any issues ?

[split spindle]

i have no idea but i didnt change any in my last few hours of playing

i was fighting aboss, i respawned, suddenly i lost weapon passives even thru client restart

[sudden solstice]

did you try a restart

[split spindle]

also isnt applying spell dmg here

dps 72.5 is the same, im very confused lol. 3 alt f4s, i do try before i bother others

[hard cypress]

Yee I'd try restart + remove and resocket the gems

[split spindle]

thank you ill try that

[sudden solstice]

this is my first ever EA game, and I love it so much this game is great, unfortunately I only get to play a couple hours a day 😦

[hard cypress]

I have four hours per week approved by my wife 😄

[sudden solstice]

i have to wake up at 4am just to get a couple hours in lol once the child wakes up it's over

[split spindle]

we dont speak of the wife in these parts 💀

[keen jolt]

thats good so that you don't burn out

[glass shell]

andybody at dreadnaught vanguard atm?

[sudden solstice]

big facts though

[split spindle]

my problem has been accessing information, cuz it isnt enough to just play the game, u need guides and reading materials lol

so i have to sneak in guides during lunch breaks, its very impactful on ur life trying to learn this game lol

[sudden solstice]

at first, but once you understand everything it gets waaaaay better

[glacial panther]

Im in act 1 cruel and just got my 3rd ever unique but i feel like the always suck? do I have to make them better with orbs or smth?

[sudden solstice]

i had a good friend come over and watch me play, I just galvanic sharded everything and than did the electric machine gun on big enemies, and he didn't understand the thrill I got

[vestal spire]

i respec almost all of my skill tree and click save, my internet dies, then now npc took my gold but totally ruined the skill tree, it's not coorrect

[normal ibex]

the only guide i looked for was a beginner guide, turns out i was too EA for beginner guides, at this point i'm likely only to use a gude when i get to end game if i cant figure a decent build on my own

[sudden solstice]

I did my first chaos trial and I was supposed to be 1p rounds but eneded after 5..? why

10 rounds*

[normal ibex]

worth posting this as a bug tbh

this is what EA is for

we all paid to be beta testers

GGG are good lol

[vestal spire]

fun fact, i actived chaos inoculation but my hp didn't become 1

[normal ibex]

we all paid to beta test a free game... GGG are genius marketeers 😛

[sudden solstice]

we paid but we got 30$ worth of in game currency so I'm ok with that

did I spend it all on stash upgrades......yes

[normal ibex]

fair, willing to bet the new players would have been much less without the 300 coins

[split spindle]

is there a dedicated bug report section? i played with it and figured it out, idk how to replicate bug but its fixed via re-socketing, thank you @hard cypress

[keen jolt]

I mean shit bro, 1 playthrough of BG3 took me 100 hours and I've played PoE2 for 130 hours

I think I got my money's worth lmao

would glady beta test for GGG any day

[normal ibex]

i upgraded to the ogham pack too after i played more hours than most other games

[split spindle]

ppl act like its weird to want to pay money to bugtest

[sudden solstice]

this is literally the game I've always wanted

[split spindle]

fuck yea i want a better game lol

[sudden solstice]

to think we are only scratching the surface????

[keen jolt]

hell yeah

cant wait for all the support gems to be added, better endgame, probably better everything else

[austere tree]

is cast speed, attack speed and spell speed is technically same for lighning arrow ?

[keen jolt]

pretty sure that ability is not a spell

[sudden solstice]

from what I know attack speed and cast speed are identical

[dusky burrow]

they are not.

[austere tree]

ahh yeah it does say attack instead of spell

[normal ibex]

yeah only attack speed is likely to work

[dusky burrow]

lightning arrow is an attack, it is not a spell. only attack speed will affect it.

[keen jolt]

rule of thumb: all attacks say Attack in the skill gem
everything else is not an attack

also FYI Acc stat only affects attacks

[dusk umbra]

how good is this for frost build?

[sudden solstice]

idk I've only been a merc so attack speed is what I go for

[main quartz]

not very good

[sudden solstice]

my next character will definitely be a witch tho

[dusk umbra]

ty

[normal ibex]

ugh, have to wait till like level 50 to get reload speed bonus too 😦

[sudden solstice]

not true

[keen jolt]

maybe theres a stat for reload speed?

well idk anything about merc lol

[normal ibex]

support gem

[austere tree]

and for lighning arrow (attack) where can I see my shock chance ? its literally nowehre

[normal ibex]

high level iirc

[sudden solstice]

ailment chance

[main quartz]

Herald of lighting or something like that no ?

[eager basin]

shock chance is not a flat number

hover the tooltip

[keen jolt]

shock chance is based on how much damage you deal to enemies

and yeah check tooltip

[austere tree]

its not writing in lightning arrow tooltip

[keen jolt]

press the underlined "Shock" keyword

[sudden solstice]

I go galvanic shards into electric machine gun (idk the skill) but yeah shock chance is rough

[austere tree]

there is no mention of shock in tooltip

[keen jolt]

weird

honestly I forgot what lightning arrow looks like but maybe u can find the tooltip in the passive tree instead

[sudden solstice]

voltaic mark can help

[keen jolt]

either way, just know that, by default, shock chance is based on how much damage you deal and is not a specific %

so if u deal a ton of damage with lightning spells, you'll shock more easily

passives and stuff obviously help a lot

[austere tree]

okay

[sudden solstice]

i do galvanic shards for mobs, than do volataic mark+galvanic shards to shock + shock burst rounds for bosses

[brisk kindle]

Is it possible to switch weapons when using a quarterstaff? E.g switching from quarterstaff to a bow on the fly?

[sudden solstice]

it is

[soft bolt]

can someone help me understand what this head piece does? I am trying to make a lightning ranger and I don't see what this does for me

[sudden solstice]

I mean I have almost beat act 3, no energy shield

so ignore it rn

[brisk kindle]

how

[sudden solstice]

dodging enemy attacks is just i guess

key*

[cursive osprey]

hey does someone have a sphere that gives me the 4th bonus on an item?

[main quartz]

Exalted orbs ?

[grim fern]

If they roll some good damage overall like similar dps then it may be worth swapping, but getting high dps on a roll is a slim chance. Did you manage to get through the boss?

[cursive osprey]

yea the one you put a 4th & 5th effect on ur items with

[fading roost]

Yes, tysm. I'll make sure if I switch it's for good dps, thanks

[sudden solstice]

I haven't even looked at energy shield since act 1, i am an avid souls Bourne player, I am patient, I can dodge, and I can kill

[main quartz]

Yep that's exalted orbs, goes up to 6 modifiers on rare items. Use the currency exchange in game to trade for them

[grim fern]

Also to consider, the bow has runes and stuff that increase damage that wpuldnt drop naturally so I wpuld wait until you see the next level up of bows to start consirering

[cursive osprey]

how do i use that currency exchange and how much money do i need?

[graceful jacinth]

just wondering guys, how do i get to face the end game bosses ? like king of the mists and xesht ?

[main quartz]

The NPC you can gamble with usually has the currency exchange and from there you can trade any orbs/currency (not gold) for exalted orbs

[cursive osprey]

hmm kk ill check

[cursive osprey]

u mean Alva?

[fading roost]

Got it

[main quartz]

Yes

[normal ibex]

isnt that locked behind mid cruel quest tho?

[cursive osprey]

dont see currency exchange only the normal Buy and sell icon

[main quartz]

sorry forgot about that

[cursive osprey]

ohhh ok

so i cant get the orb 😦

[main quartz]

If you aren't done with your first run through the campaign, it's probably better not to waste orbs on low level items

Check merchants and buy gear from them, when you lvl up

[low viper]

I've been trying to farm the quest relic in the bone pits (cruel) for like 20 minutes now, am I missing something?

I've reset instance

[main quartz]

Are your ground items visible ? xd

[low viper]

ye

[main quartz]

you,re sure you don't already have that relic ?

[low viper]

double checked stash and bags, yep

[main quartz]

Could be in the relic altar already or you just got very unlucky

[cosmic garnet]

how can i get skill gems?

[main quartz]

buy them or play the game

[topaz junco]

They’re a random drop or a few quest rewards

[cosmic garnet]

where can I buy em?

Either your my lucky charm or complaining on the internet works. Finally dropped. Only took ~40 mins.

[main quartz]

lmao

[versed cairn]

Does number of affixes affect exalting suffix vs prefix? i.e. if an item has 2 prefixes 2 suffixes vs 2 prefixes 1 suffix, does exalting the second one has much higher chance of landing on suffix?

[hybrid condor]

Hi! im doing the quest "The Mysterious Shade" i don't know what to do

[main quartz]

Isn't that the grelwood quest, find the waystone in the grelwood, talk to una, find the red vale, etc

[hybrid condor]

Says Search for the coun'ts grave past the memorial gate

[main quartz]

ok so you've found the mausoleum and the other thing, killed both bosses. Go back to the waystone in the cemetary and there is a gate you can open

[low viper]

ye there's a zone transition in the area where you killed the mini boss that was the sad guy. I missed it too the first time around.

[zinc crater]

hi ! what lvl is recomended for trials of chaos im lvl 48 sorcerer and i cant pass it ... maybe iam just bad but do you have a start or something ? ^^

[dusky burrow]

no

it only matters if one of those are full

otherwise it's always a 50/50

[amber crypt]

how do i kill draven

he is so hard wtf

[umbral shoal]

This might be a bad opinion but I hate the herald skills so much, everyone uses them and it really homogenizes all the builds for me because everything is just ice, fire, or lightning explosions

I want to see the actual skills

[zenith peak]

I just discovered weapon swaping for my mercenary in Act 2

lol

[dim pagoda]

oh man game crashed while doing the trials of chaos, man what a bs

[zenith peak]

i missed ou ton so much

[royal canopy]

Wanna ask. These omen things. Will be gone from inventory if we activate ? Or it is permanent having 1 for forever?

[hybrid condor]

Ty ty!

[main quartz]

Omens are one time use

[royal canopy]

Noted. Thankss

[stuck stream]

Probably going blind, but I don’t see Charm listed on the trade site - what cat do they fall under?

[haughty laurel]

help? I keep clicking to proceed but it wont work?

[rigid wasp]

What's happening when I get surrounded by enemies and I can't use my abilities? It's like they stun lock me and then I just die

[rugged tangle]

so they're stunning you then lol

[rigid wasp]

Every enemy can stun and do it constantly?

[rugged tangle]

if you have alot of them they can stun lock you to death for sure.... thats why theres stun threshold on gear

[main quartz]

Stun treshold is 30% of max health, there are charms to prevent stuns

[amber crypt]

why is path of exile online game where what u do is solo 99% of the time? game is unplayable for me due to lag spikes

[dusky burrow]

it's for trading

if you're experiencing lag, that's unfortunate

[amber crypt]

yeah lag spikes

[rugged tangle]

odd, I have almost 240 hours and I think i've had lag like once

[torn bough]

is there way to sustain corpses for bossing and stuff detonate dead? and zombies

[amber crypt]

and this bitc draven made it worse

[zenith peak]

I killed beira of the rotten pack bos multiple times- still appears on the map
any idea why

[hybrid condor]

Is there a good way to tell if i should change out an item or is it just what stats i prefer?

[dusky burrow]

know what stats you want

and take the one with more

[lament stone]

which for campaign, life and elemental resists are your priority

on armour

[hybrid condor]

hmm okey! gotta check a guide then, cuz i know that i want dext and int but nothing more then that xD

[lament stone]

attributes are not a priority

[wraith oxide]

totem count as a allie?

[lament stone]

you only need enough attributes to be able to equip gems and gear

[hybrid condor]

ohh! then ive got it all wrong xD

[trim turret]

Unless you're playing a stat stacker, and you shouldn't be for your first build because it requires specific gear.

[hybrid condor]

Im playing as a monk! if that give an answer to ur question? 😅

[lament stone]

"monk" doesnt tell us anything about your build

[craggy gyro]

So I just started my ranger class today….its so much nastier thank any other class I’ve tried. Melts stuff gnarlier than my lvl 62 witch hunter

[trim turret]

A stat stacker is a specific type of build unrelated to your class.

[hybrid condor]

Ohh okey... im totaly new to the game so sry if i don't understand. I don't really know what build im going for im just following a monk leveling guide 😬

[sleek fjord]

what happens if i already got both benches, is there a point in doing the molten vault quest?

[trim turret]

If it's from a reliable source you'll be fine.

[daring dragon]

Can anyone clear something up real quick, currently debating with a friend. Ingame it says for second ascendancy you need chaos trial with 7 rooms, the graphic that is frequently shared on here however says 4 rooms. Which one is correct?

[trim turret]

I only had to do four for mine.

[hybrid condor]

ait! but if i wanna change skills is there a way to do it early into the game

[craggy gyro]

Im looking for the easiest absolute playthrough from start to finish and heard that infernalist witch is good with right combo. So far seems half ok but i have a feeling bosses at end of act1 will not be easy

[trim turret]

Gems can be swapped out whenever you want as long as you have enough uncut gems for what you need. Passives can be respecced for gold at the hooded one.

[craggy gyro]

Hope im picking right class for this. Im into just a smooth ride to cruel

[craggy gyro]

Ranger with lightning damage

[lament stone]

its either the quest item that has 4 rounds OR a random drop which would need 7 rounds

[craggy gyro]

Broooooooo everybody gives me three different class types

Which one’s the easiest… i hear ranger tjan some peolle say fire witch

[lament stone]

also that ss from the wiki looks different to the one i have

[craggy gyro]

lol I tried most of em. Mercenary is rough till you get your spirit buffs which takes a while . Ranger has me melting through bosses in 15-30 seconds

[trim turret]

Every class has solid builds if you set them up correctly. Asking which one is the easiest is silly.

[lament stone]

there isnt an "easiest" or "best" class

[hybrid condor]

What is a good reliable source for a skill tree guide?

[lament stone]

you could do lightning rod + orb of storms on every class, that would make every class the "easiest"

[craggy gyro]

Id follow a build guidr for whichever is easiest i know every build can be good but there’s guaranteed one that just requires the right skill gems and skill tree and basically never worry about dying

I know alot of games that have plenty of build variety but its just randomly sometimes combos end up being better than other ones for simplicity

[sleek fjord]

which area drops sacrificial heart?

[lament stone]

sure, some skill combos do end up being stronger than other

but any class can use those same skill combos

[craggy gyro]

That’s the “melts everything” class😂😂😂

[lament stone]

utzaal or aggorat

[sleek fjord]

either one works?

[azure lava]

The ascension 2 says "or any trial of chaos"

[craggy gyro]

So ill look at deadeye i guess. I like the mobility aspect

[lament stone]

the non quest 4 round chaos trial would not work

[azure lava]

Would it not? Oh, yeah, I guess if you did your first ascension from the quest trial of chaos

But if you ascend with quest sekhema, could you ascend again with non quest 4 trial chaos?

[lament stone]

no

[azure lava]

Oh, wild

[lament stone]

youd need the quest trial of chaos, or a 7 round trial of chaos

[craggy gyro]

Ngl ranger is good

[ionic walrus]

Why do my passive refunds not save

[lament stone]

the quest token being able to be used for your 2nd ascension despite only having the number of rounds for the 1st is unique to the quest token

[azure lava]

But the info graphic says "any other ascension one" and ascension one includes a 4-trial non-quest chaos, no?

[lament stone]

yea its wrong there

[azure lava]

So is the graphic wrong in this one very specific case

Mobile is too slow man

[blazing heath]

Anyone free to give me a hand at a boss ? new to this game btw

[azure lava]

All classes can use all skills and gear. All classes are good

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[craggy gyro]

That’s the way! I just started this class and this game has never been so easy as this run is going. It’s fast and hits bosses and groups hard

[craggy gyro]

I couldn’t really get monk to work for me🫤

[azure lava]

Try lightning rod + orb of storms

Or other skill types

[craggy gyro]

So same stuff as my Ranger lol

[azure lava]

You're not locked to quarterstaves on monk

[rustic venture]

Shock description says "20% increased damage". so is it worthless if you already have lots of increased damage?

[azure lava]

So this is the one instance where the "all increases are additive" rule is broken. Kinda.

All YOUR damage follows that rule. All your increased damage sources are additive and then multiplied by more damage, etc. But then when it hits the ENEMY, that's a separate pool.

So if you deal a total of 1k damage, the enemy will take 1,200 damage if they're suffering a 20% inc damage taken shock.

"increased damage taken" is still additive with other "increased damage taken" though

But with shock and no other sources of inc damage taken, it's effectively more damage

[lament stone]

its not 20% increased damage for you
its 20% increased damage taken by the enemy

[fading roost]

Quick crafting questions: what's the maximum number of modifiers for a rare item? What items do you use to achieve that as well as change/keep specific mods

[rustic venture]

are there other sources of "increased damage taken by enemy"?

[azure lava]

6. Except for jewels, they can have up to 4

[azure lava]

Some curses, I think

At least in poe1

[lament stone]

im not sure if there are others in poe2 atm

[azure lava]

There are a lot of weird places to check

[storm pagoda]

how do some build have 10 skills? I am in act 3 and I only have like 9 skills + the base weapon (quarterstaff in my case) listed in the skill list

[azure lava]

The Ancestral spirits from warbringer come to mind. As do warcries

Not sure if they do

[azure lava]

Unset rings add a gem slot. Gemling Legionnaire also has a node for extra slots. And ascendancy skills don't take up slots

[lament stone]

spike pit, enemies on jagged ground take 10% increased damage

[storm pagoda]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/coc-balls-invoker-ronarray
In this build what is giving it extra slot?

[lament stone]

skills can also be granted by items and ascendancies, which do not take up your 9 default skill gem slots

[fading roost]

Wait wait wait, you can craft on jewels?!

[azure lava]

Unbound avatar is an ascendancy skill

[lament stone]

default attack would also have its own skill slot that would come under skills granted by items wouldnt it

[azure lava]

You can use those crafting currencies on anything with rarity that isn't corrupted

[fading roost]

I'm dead, lol. I've got a normal one that gives me %7 increased crit

[azure lava]

Even strongboxes

Oh, are strongboxes not in the campaign? My b

[storm pagoda]

ohh okk. I haven't unlocked it yet. Trying to switch to this build now

[lament stone]

can you chance strongboxes?

has anyone tried that in poe2 yet?

[azure lava]

I haven't tried. I know what I'm doing on the 19th when I'm home from this work trip 🥲

[lament stone]

altho i havent seen any normal strongboxes

[azure lava]

If you annul an item to zero mods, does it go to normal rarity?

Idk if they're called annuls

[fading roost]

How many times can you ascend in Sekhemas

[lament stone]

they dont in poe1 so im assuming they dont in poe2

[lament stone]

4

[fading roost]

Okay, I just got an item that says I could do it again or smthn

I've beaten my first time and haven't tried again since

Now I've got that flower looking offering that says it can be used in the trial

Is that used for my "second" ascension trial?

[azure lava]

You can ascend up to four times with any combination of sekhema/chaos

[fading roost]

Oh nice, okay so I have two of those which means I can get my second ascension now

[edgy jacinth]

So I’m in act 2 cruel. Why does it keep switching me back to act 2 in regular when i go to desert map. It’s getting annoying.

also waypoints as well

[azure lava]

Only if the djinn barya says you can ascend. You need one with two trials listed on it

[torn bough]

quest stae says place on the latar you found, im not seeing what its talking about but it pope dwhen i clicked this

[lament stone]

press z, you might have hidden nameplates which affects that thing too

[fading roost]

And how would I get her to tell me?

[azure lava]

The djinn barya is the item, not Balbala

[torn bough]

i already ahve it pressed, but ive tried it several tiems re doing it and pressing alt, i left and came back it said somethign i clied it again and nothing

[fading roost]

Lmao, I'm a dork

[lament stone]

oh, unless you mean you dont have the items to place there yet? the sun and moon clan relics

[fading roost]

Makes more sense now

[torn bough]

b

[lament stone]

you need to open your inventory and place the relics into it

[storm pagoda]

Currently i am level 39. in early stages of act 3. The highest uncut gem dropping for me is level 9. Is there a chart that mentions what is level required per uncut gem level. I feel like i can probably trade to find better gems? I also want to unlock Blink aura which starts at 14 i believe

[torn bough]

i cant interact with it at all

[lament stone]

pick up the relic and put it into the thing

[azure lava]

Drag it in

[torn bough]

i cant interact to drag any thing

liek thers nothing for me to open

that first image i cant click on anything i can see

[lament stone]

you need to press z to unhide nameplates

[torn bough]

i have like a hundred times over

[lament stone]

you open your inventory, click the relic to pick it up, then place the relic into the altar

[vernal lily]

hi guys do bloodmage first big ascendancy node make your spell cost life instead of mana, or does it make your spells cost both spell and mana?

[lament stone]

both

[vernal lily]

Ok thank you

[torn bough]

bro i cant place it into anything because i cant find anything to interact with

like thers nothing i can click on here

is this the altar?

[lament stone]

stand next to the altar, open your inventory, click the relic in your inventory and drag it into the altar

[torn bough]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank god ty

wtf is this

fyi i tried drag and dropping it a bunch oftimes it jjust flung to the ground

[storm pagoda]

Is there a chart that mentions what is level required per uncut gem level. if i traded a level 14 spirit gem to unlock blink, would it have a min level required?

[lament stone]

a poe mechanic, you can use items from your inventory to interact with the world, like using currency items on strongboxes

[lament stone]

yes, each gem level needs a specific character level to be able to equip it

level 14 gems require level 58

[storm pagoda]

damn, that will be a while then since I am only level 39. Can i trade for level 10 at 39 though?

[lament stone]

no

[ruby vale]

Did anyone get answers from support any last days? Im waiting for 2 weeks alrdy 😦

[lament stone]

blink requires a minimum of level 14

you cannot cut a blink gem from a spirit gem that is below level 14

[granite musk]

Need an opinion, I'm running a sorceress with spark,using widowhail bow and a quiver, I'm wondering if I should get blasphemy to toss my conductivity on so it's an aura and not a cast spell. So it hits all enemies that come close instead me having to cast it and take the chance of it not hitting

[storm pagoda]

yes, i know about blink, but i dont have any gems, and to switch to that build i need three new spirit skills. i wanted to trade to the highest level gem i can use at lvl39

[lament stone]

10

its not always a good idea to use the highest level because of attribute requirements

[ruby vale]

it reserves 60 spirit. Archmage reserve 60 too. You will need 120. Its not worth to seek items with spirit for spark sorc to skip 1 button you use only on bosses lol

[storm pagoda]

ohh true.. i will first respec and see what stats i have. thanks for letting me know

[lament stone]

archmage reserves 100

[ruby vale]

ok 100 then means a lot more difficult lol

[granite musk]

Just felt it would make killing yellow bars, and bluebars and being swarmed by enemies in certain areas die quicker my bad

[lament stone]

i would not use spark at all if you dont have archmage

[inner cape]

does anyone know how i can beat zalmarath the colossus; i m level 29 but i just keep dying to him

[lament stone]

lightning rod + orb of storms will be better until that point

spark just doesnt have any boss damage until you get archmage with high mana

[granite musk]

Yea but don't have the dex to get that with the lvl 9 gem i got right now and don't have any lower level ones. Other then a level 1 on my rogue I made and would prefer not to respec

Ans lose int

I've got 30 dex right now

[lament stone]

if you cant do that id use arc for boss damage instead

it should be a lot better than spark

[granite musk]

Alr, what about for support gems, should I just switch to arc when going into boss and keep spark on for map exploring then

[vernal finch]

Does anyone know what leveling up blasphemy actually does?

[lament stone]

reduces the curse effect penalty

[granite musk]

And I mean I've been using mana tempest with spark and it seems to be pretty good atm

[vernal finch]

Oh awesome ty!! Also, Do you know how blasphemy works with the blood mage ascendancy where curses have infinite duration?

[zenith peak]

What are relics are being sold by Balbala, the Adviror in Act 2

[lament stone]

it doesnt

[vernal finch]

perfect lol thanks

[lament stone]

blapshemy curses are an aura

they dont have a duration

[vernal finch]

Ah ok, thank you. I'm trying to make a build for blood mage but some of these interactions are hard to understand

[vernal finch]

last curse question! lol does increases to curse area in the passive tree affect blasphemy?

[torn bough]

so i havnt even finished the campaign once but im already feeling clunky with my minions getting stuck and doing nothing , a little underwhelmed. Anyone got a good start recommendation that will feel smoth to play that wont bottleneck as i hit the end ? doesnt need to be a powerrhouse op build just somethign that feels good to play

[lament stone]

idk

i dont see why it wouldnt

but there may be weird interactions so idk

[vernal finch]

Yea since it's techincally an "aura" i have no idea if I should be taking area curse passives for it or not

[lament stone]

since the skill itself is a curse, i want to say it should work

and blasphemy is just a base radius probably

its something you might just have to test and see

[vernal finch]

it's so hard to test because the monsters constantly move towards me

maybe i'll pin them with bone cage and see LOL

[lament stone]

youre always in the centre of the screen, you just need to remember where on your screen enemies get cursed

[vernal finch]

Well I'm 95% sure that expanse doesn't do anything "Supported skills have a 50% more area of effect, with a 6 sec cooldown"
Not too relevant but nice to know

[timber saddle]

I downloaded and installed the patch on my ps5 but when I go into the game the game tells me I need to restart and I do so and still get the same error message? What to do? :S

[topaz junco]

Seems to be a common bug for console players right now

[timber saddle]

Oh

[austere tree]

I died in trail of chaos and lost that thing that lets me enter, will I get another one or will my character have missing ascendancy point forever

[topaz junco]

Was it a green one or no

[austere tree]

I dont know but its not first time i did chaos, first time i could retry as many times

[topaz junco]

If it wasn’t then yea you’ll have to find/trade for another but no you won’t be missing ascendency points forever

[strong coyote]

what are some unique items with movement speed to level a 2nd character as quick as possible? apart from my lvl 11 unique boots with 24 movespeed i dont have and i cant find anything else that has movespeed on it

[regal fjord]

Are we meant to be building near bis items from the start or am i missing something cause a1 boss was a nightmare and a2 feels like a brick wall?

[strong coyote]

focus on getting your resistances as high as possible, it also helps to know what damage type which act end boss deals primarily, for example act 1 end boss deals mainly cold damage so you should get cold resistances, a sapphire base ring will help alot. also check the trader for new items everytime you level up (check for higher base item types with higher stat values).

[craggy gyro]

Should I pick wind dancer or herald of thunder first for my lightning rod ranger?

[regal fjord]

i can't get to the boss. let alone into a zone enough to make it matter

one giant falls over and it's instantly 75%

[strong coyote]

they are very slow and easily dodgeable

[regal fjord]

yes when solo.

but if something you know.. slows or stuns you it's an easy 2hit

and then back to start

you see where this is going yea?

[lament stone]

life and elemental resists are the most important stats on gear

[regal fjord]

so... farm for near bis

[lament stone]

more important than stuff like energy shield or evasion at this point

[regal fjord]

in act 2

[lament stone]

and just ignore armour

[regal fjord]

ty

[lament stone]

life + elemental resists isnt near bis

[strong coyote]

just focus on maxing resistances, getting as much life on your gear as you can, and check for better items to buy off the trader during campaign is all there is to say in regards to surviving the campaign.

[lament stone]

literal 2 mod gear is all you need to do the campaign

[quiet hull]

Yeah u defenitly don't need bis for act bosses lol shit this last run I did on monk I didn't even have gloves or necklace when I fought the act 1 boss

[lament stone]

and then it just comes down to keeping your weapon and skills up to date

you need to constantly be looking out for upgrades, dont leave stuff for too long

[quiet hull]

Have a decent weapon and good support skills and I'll be fine

You'll*

[regal fjord]

can you reroll vendors?

[quiet hull]

Everytime you level it changes inventory

[regal fjord]

but can you change it otherwise forcefully

cause you know you'd need to be able to level efficiently for that right

[fossil creek]

i have a question i bought the game on website is it possible to tranfer it to steam?

[craggy gyro]

I’m guessing wind dancer before herald of thunder? For my lightning rod ranger?

Im going infernalist witch to see if it shreds bosses, if not ill try ranger

[lament stone]

login to the website and link your steam account

[quiet hull]

Leveling is the only way. And it's forceable. Kill mobs for XP and u level up which forces the vendors to change 🙂

[fossil creek]

yea but where should i get a code to add it to steam

[lament stone]

youll need to use the steam key from the early access page in your profile to be able to download the game on steam

[fossil creek]

hmm

ok

let me see if i underdtand

[regal fjord]

uhh no cause if you can't easily "kill" you can't really change it but thanks

[quiet hull]

What skill is it main dos and what supports?

DPS*

Your* damn phone autocorrecting everything

[regal fjord]

it doesn't matter when i die in 2 hits?

thanks for following along 🙂

[quiet hull]

We all die in 2 hits. Don't get hit is the key

[fossil creek]

i still dont get it where it is

[vernal finch]

I can browse reddit afk on my minion infernalist lol

[regal fjord]

it's a melee monk build.

up close and personal

[quiet hull]

Not in act 1 u cant

[fathom crag]

For minions, how do you call them back to you if you set a destination for them? Do they come back to you after you leave the screen?

[real gust]

jesus christ why are lvl 19 spirit gems so expensive?

are they that rare?

[quiet hull]

I just started my SSF monk yesterday. I'm pretty veteran and it was rough. I'd suggest grabbing a bow and lightninng arrow for the first 14lvls

[wary swift]

I'm a sorcerer who put most of my skills into frost. I even have frost minion mages.

[regal fjord]

i'm past there i'm in act 2. getting 2-3 hit by who knows what cause game doesn't show death numbers or counters

all caught up now?

[wary swift]

I just started act 2 last night.

[quiet hull]

Lol.

[regal fjord]

res and health gear

[regal fjord]

?
